configuration is preferred)

•
This hardware configuration is recommended for production use.
• A maximum of 500 networked devices is recommended with this configuration. If you
want to increase the maximum amount of networked devices, note the following:
o A more powerful CPU is required for operations stemming from the SQL server,
Device Handlers node, and the Scheduler service.
o More RAM is required for intensive processing of device logs (when all log types
are enabled for every device), the SQL server, and the Scheduler service.
o More free hard disk space is required for Persistent Storage and device log
reports. Intensive operations may also be bottlenecked by the speed of the HDD.
